- Ferret curled up in the culvert, sucking on a pipe. Bats sing
- hymns in the chimney, crow presides. Leering over. "Ask not -
- ask not what you can do for your roost - but what your roost can
- do for you!" Squeaks - chitters - and a wild flutter of fur.
- Ovation. Twigs are thrown, celebrant arc. A flare of torches.

- Outside the little man sits under the tree. Legs crossed, lotus,
- chaw in cheek. Chaw? Toadstools no doubt. Agarique; muscatel.
- Around him the grass is fencing blade by blade by blade. A
- glance, a blink.

- "If - if so - then thus, then, - but, but, but, I will be sober,
- I will be sober in the morning, I will," and there is a great
- hush, and the torches burn dark, and click clack, clitter
- clatter, pipe on the concrete.
